Using Simple Text Search
Simple text search quickly searches all full-text indexed fields in each record of your database. AttachmentA file or web URL reference linked to a record.s designated as "searchable" are included in a text search.

The text search examines each record in the database, matching the criteria entered in the Search text box. Results might vary depending on the words or phrases used as search criteria.
| 1. | Within a workspace or form, enter a word or phrase in the Search text box. |
| 2. | Click Search. A list of results appears. A record opens automatically when only one record is found. |
The following shows the differences between searches allowed in the Search text box. Type Ahead search might not be configured for all workspaces.

Type Ahead Search
You can enter a word and see a list of possible search matches when Type Ahead search is enabled. A panel appears, listing results. Sometimes a result appears when a keyword is contained in a field that is not visible.
Administrators enable this feature from the layout (see Using Layouts).
Search Not in English
Searches in languages other than English are based on the default language setting of the server. For example, if your server language is set to Japanese and the search criteria contains Japanese characters (for example, the title field), your search should be successful. If the field contains characters from multiple languages, only characters matching the server settings are evaluated.
Changing the Default Full Text Search Language of the Server
|
Changing server settings affects all databases on the server. |
In the Server Properties window, set the Default Full-Text Language parameter to the language that you want. For example:
- German: 1031
- Japanese: 1041
Manually Changing the Word-Breaker Language for Existing Full-Text Search Indexes
After setting the default language for the server, from the Configuration Console, disable then enable a single field in each full text search-enabled object. This procedure rebuilds the full text search index to the new language.
Alternatively, you can set the word-breaker language for individual columns. For example, the following shows the OwnerTeam column being set to German.

This technique can be laborious if you want to update the indexes in all columns.
